No blanket rule this year. The lines started who knows one o-clock? gates didn't open until 4 or 5. Never in my life had I seen such a long lines both nights. Glad it wasn't the 100 degrees out both days. It was not hard to get great seats, if you were in the first thousand. Tickets were 25 a night. Now would it be better to pay a fee of 5 dollars to sit where you would like to or stand in line for two to three hours? Think I would stand in line.

I think it did take one hour to get inside. We did have better seats this year with the no blankets laid out. Two ticket takers.

I think we can have it both ways just like back in the 70's. Even though the turn one bleachers are no longer there they still have seating in turn 4. Bleacher seats lower price stand in line, reserved seats show up with shorter lines with a great seat for a couple bucks more. Whats a outlaw show cost these days?
